Cannot install

[AntouanK]

Trying to follow your instructions, I went into the backend folder and tried poetry install.

I added a README but no difference really.
I also tried running it at the root folder as well, again it throws an error.

Poetry could not find a pyproject.toml file in /home/antouank/_REPOS_/screenshot-to-code or its parents

What am I missing?

( what is "poetry" anyway? )

[vithanhlam]

you can install pip install poetry

[AntouanK]

I tried with venv, I get the same result.

Getting the exact same errors here. Hope there is a quick fix for this, really excited to try this out.

pip install poetry should fix these issues. Is anyone having the issue after they do that still? Happy to help debug.

I have installed poetry. It doesn't look like the issue is resolved by installing poetry.

What do you recommend? What can I try? Do you need some logs / command output?

I have installed poetry in 2 different ways. Made no difference.
If you check the terminal output I posted, the errors are from poetry itself.

[abi]

@AntouanK sorry i missed that. your logs suggest it's failing because of a missing README file. I removed that, can you pull and retry?

[AntouanK]

there's no README inside backend.
I added an empty one, and still there was an error ( it's in the logs )

I pulled and tried again. same error

have you tried cloning the repo on a new machine and running it?

or maybe try in a python docker container. so you can see what dependencies people need to run it.

thank you.

[abi]

@AntouanK People have gotten it working on their machine: #6

I tried locally from scratch (but not in a Docker container). Let me look into it.

[AntouanK]

Yeah, I know that the project works.
It's just the setup step.
Could be that it's people that have a python setup on their machine?
( I'm not a python dev, so maybe I'm missing something python related )

[AntouanK]

actually I proceed with the last command, and it works fine!

poetry run uvicorn main:app --reload --port 7000

Seems like that error we see is just poetry saying "everything is already installed"?
Not sure.

It seems to work for me.

Thanks for all the help and your work @abi 👍

[vfonic]

Ok, this worked for me:

cd backend
mkdir backend # yes, inside backend
mv *.py backend/
poetry install
poetry shell
cd backend # yes, backend/backend
poetry run uvicorn main:app --reload --port 7000

And frontend stuff stays the same.

I suppose an easier solution would be to do mv pyproject.toml ../

[abi]

@vfonic I can see why that works. Python has weird import mechanisms for the root of the project. Glad it worked for you!

Added some info to the FAQs.
